Resource-wise business: smart water use in your company (Pärnu seminar)

How can water use and waste be reduced? How can water-related risks and dependencies be mitigated?

This is not a lecture but a practical seminar, where you think through your company’s water use and risks and look for places where you can make wiser choices.

You will gain knowledge and practical skills in:

– resource efficiency: ways to increase water efficiency and save costs;

– risk management: mitigating water-related business risks and dependencies;

– competitiveness: how more conscious management of water issues can work for your sales success and strength;

– implementation: what your company needs to secure and change so that plans become reality (involvement, awareness, motivation, supply chain);

– assessing the current state and development potential of water management, with a list of good practices to analyse your own company;

– a short- and long-term action plan with indicators to reduce water use, whether starting from scratch or building on existing efforts.
